pcPuppyOS 3.01 Final
Note: After installing, you may wish to install the patch attached below. Additionally, a small bug in PET-Be-Gone has been fixed since releasing this. If a couple more small bugs are found I'll build and upload a revised ISO.

NOTE: The official site has not been updated yet, so download from my own if you want the latest version (the links starting six lines below).

WineTools addon (mfc40.dll, dcom98, True Type fonts, and a heavily tweaked Wine setup):
NOTICE: The WineTools addon contains elements which require the user to have a valid license for WindowsWineTools_preconfigured.pet - 12 MB
md5sum : db8067f5f596e0b07e349b2ce022b92e
Personally, I recommend against using this if you can help it. WineTools is somewhat dated (last update in 2005, whereas Wine was just updated last Friday).

Changes in REV1 since FINAL

upgraded Pebble

upgraded timesysnc to 0.2, which uses a list of timeservers at /etc/timeservers, and will go through it until it finds one that works, then caches it at /etc/.last_good_timeserver so that it doesn't have to use trial-and-error every time.

All partitions are automounted. This can be disabled from toggle menu.
Setting your root password is required, but logging in can be disabled from the toggle menu.
The remaster script has been improved to add Full-HD support, if you have an ISO handy.
Any executable placed in /etc/init.x/ will be run when X starts.
Dmcrypt is installed and is an option for encrypting save-files.

There are also some bug-fixes and several graphical improvements over the standard Puppy.

Important tidbits to know:

Wine's files are located in /root/wine/.wine, not /root/.wine.

You may occasionally need to run the "Reown Wine" command from Start->Utilities->Wine, in order to make sure the user "wine" owns the Wine files (mainly only a problem if you manually add things to /root/wine/).

If you want to permanently move the clock, you must right-click it and close it after moving. Otherwise it doesn't save. It can be re-started again from Start->Desktop

To disable/enable many things (clock, calendar, 24h time, autologin, etc.) check out the Toggle Menu in Start->Utilities

Hey Pizzasgood,
I seem to be having trouble upgrading ClamAV. Freshclam downloads the update but then spits out this error ... Downloading main.cvd [100%]
ERROR: Can't rename /usr/share/clamav/clamav-70faaece27159dddca0b2f8a3d44c4c3 to main.cvd
Permissions seem to be right : owner,group clamav,clamav

Check that "clamav" also owns the directory /usr/share/clamav/. I may have overlooked that when I upgraded it. To fix, run chown clamav:clamav /usr/share/clamav

I'd check it myself, but I've already moved out of my dorm for the summer and my computer is now packed away. I did put a compressed archive of the pcPuppyOS build tree on my webspace in case I need it, but it's 1.2 gb so a large download. I'd rather wait until I get to my mom's house on Tuesday, as she has a better connection than my grandma._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

I don't have any other ideas. I'll download the latest version of pcPuppyOS to my laptop on Tuesday or Wednesday and see what the problem is.

Meanwhile, you can still update things manually by downloading the main.cvd and daily.cvd files from http://clamav.net to /usr/share/clamav/._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

If you stick both the iso and the .delta file in the same location, you can open a terminal there by pressing either the back-quote key or right-clicking and going to Window -> Terminal Here. Then just copy/paste in that command and hit enter.

To copy/paste, highlight the command, then middle-click in the terminal window.

Otherwise, if you'd rather type the command, you can use tab-completion to speed it up (start typing, then hit tab)._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

Any ideas?

Sorry, but I can't seem to reproduce this. Unless you have any other data you forgot to mention?

Maybe manually replacing the files will fix things._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

I have pcPuppyOS installed on 3 of my computers and I have the same problem on 2 of them and not on the third one. The 2 with the problem also have PC Linux 2007 (complete install) and one of them also has Windows 98 installed, all partitions are ext3 and fat 32. The one that doesn't have the problem has XP pro installed partitions are NTFS and fat 32 which also has all the pcPuppyOS files copied on it. I don't know if that could be of any help but here it is...
